Hi guys, first off this forum was extremely helpful when i built my first computer in 8th grade. I'm now a college senior, and the laptop i got freshman year is getting pretty slow, especially trying to play supreme commander. I now have an asus transformer tablet that I love, which is making the laptop feel even more ancient. So I'm looking to build a new desktop and was looking for some guidance as I've been out of the computer hardware realm for a long time. I was thinking of going micro atx so I can easily move between my bedroom and living room, and take up a little less space in my appt. I've put together a tenative first shot at a build, but I'm not looking to build until I'm on christmas break. My price range is right around $1000 dollars.
TL;DR
micro atx build around $1000 for moderate gaming and media

oh and a copy of windows 7 hp 99.99
total so far-930.93
i haven't included a power supply since i'm not sure what exactly will fit in this case, although the reviews say it fits an atx power supply. I also might have a much better processor than graphics card and might need to make them a little more equal. All in all though this is just a start since i'm getting back in the game after so long, and these parts all seem worlds ahead compared to what i've been using.
